Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
You only need three basic ingredients:
- 1 can (about 14–15 oz) salmon, drained
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
Optional (but recommended for extra flavor):
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, chopped parsley, or a squeeze of lemon
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
Open the canned salmon and drain it thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Using a fork, gently flake the salmon into smaller pieces. If your canned salmon includes skin or bones, you can remove them or mash them in—they’re soft and edible, adding extra nutrients.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
Crack the egg into the bowl with the salmon. Add the breadcrumbs.
Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs; if too dry, a tiny splash of water or another bit of egg can help.
At this stage, you can mix in optional seasonings if you like.
